Prayers for dd#2

My dd#2 recently found out that she was in the top three-therefore winning a monetary prize- in The East Carolina University Young Artist Competition for Pre-College Pianists and Organists.

She is excited of course, but terribly nervous. You see, up until now, she has only played for church services...for the Glory of God, not for herself. She is very uncomfortable about it! She wants to be able to play as though she is at least worthy of third place/$300. It doesn't help that this is the organ:

 Wow right?

The organ she regularly plays at Peace has 2 manuals and no pedals. The one she is blessed to practice on everyday at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church  is actually a pipe organ with two manuals and pedals, but is small enough to fit in a small balcony. Neither are anywhere close to being called "magnificent."

Anyway, please pray that she will overcome her fear once she practices on this beautiful instrument and that she just does her best.
